Alaris Prime was covered generally in forests, jungles, and grass plains. There were many wroshyr trees on the world, with the Wookiees inventing various theories as to how the tree traveled over from Kashyyyk. Due to the fact that it had no major civilization for a long period, it had much wildlife and vegetation.

Alaris Prime was home to a multitude of different species, such as swarms of the insectoid Gnasps, packs of Gundarks, and many others. An interesting note is that an unknown species of Mynock found on the planet, and may be considered a new species if it is proven not to be a Vynock These Mynocks were able to survive in atmospheric conditions, and could be found roaming in the forest.

The moon had ancient Jedi ruins, but was long forgotten until a few decades before 32 BBY. Upon discovery of the untouched world, the Wookiees of Kashyyyk sought and earned approval to colonize the moon through the negotiating skill of Attichitcuk. The Trade Federation expressed an interest in the small moon, no doubt forecasting that Alaris Prime could be an important way-station for trade between Kashyyyk, Bimmisaari, and even Kessel.

The Wookiee colonists chose to join the Galactic Republic. Alaris Prime eventually became a significant technology hub. As the Separatist Crisis stewed, Kashyyyk's loyalty wavered, but Alaris Prime remained loyal to the Republic. Wookiee engineers on the colony designed and produced the Decimator weapon system to aid the Republic in its ground battles.
